Nimis provide bespoke solutions for Councils and other public sector organisations that wish to open up their opportunities to small companies and other new suppliers, in line with national recommendations and targets.

Council Quote works with existing marketplaces and Request For Quote systems. It adds value by opening up additional channels for publishing opportunities, ensuring a wider audience at a lower cost than paper based advertising.

It is simultaneously possible for a procurer (in this case, any member of staff at one of the local authorities, or other public sector user) to choose to send a quote to:

• Selected companies. This can be by selecting approved/preferred/and/or potential suppliers from that Local Authority's list. By choosing companies, or inviting electronically matched companies from a Regional Company Database.
• Web Feeds. It is possible to feed the opportunity onto the Local Authority website, other local, industry specific delivery partners.
• Local and National dissemination channel. Nimis have proven technology and more importantly, a nationwide client base of organisations that specialise in matching tender opportunities with companies, to whom selected opportunities could be sent. This opens up access to the opportunities, reducing the need to pay such high advertising costs to old fashioned paper based journals and periodicals.
